Mobile outstanding bill caution!!

Hey, just received a letter from "Lowell Portfolio" regarding an 02 bill trying to recover an outstanding bill of £66.75 dating back to 2007?? Wondering if this is a scam? How would you check it? Anyone had anything similar?

    Lowell are a well know debt collector, and like all debt collector aren't nice to deal with unless you pay upon demand, if the debt is wrong in anyway, you need to dispute it.
